What are the potential hazards of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO)?
Inhalation of NO2 can irritate the respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Prolonged exposure may exacerbate respiratory conditions such as asthma and increase the risk of respiratory infections.
NO2 contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone and particulate matter, leading to smog formation and poor air quality. It can harm vegetation, damage ecosystems, and contribute to acid rain formation.
Workers in industries such as transportation, manufacturing, and construction may be exposed to elevated levels of NO2, requiring appropriate respiratory protection and ventilation measures.
